Methods includes symbolic interactionism and ethnomethodology ethnomethodology in particular has led to many academic sub divisions and studies such as micro linguistics linguistic al research and other related aspects of human social behaviour. Macrosociology , by contrast, concerns the social structure and broader systems. Theory Microsociology exists both as an umbrella term for perspectives which focus on agency, such as Max Weber s theory of social action , and as a body of distinct techniques, particularly in American sociology. The term was conceived by Harold Garfinkel to inquire into the methods people use to make sense of their social world. It also provided an extra dimension between the studies of social psychology , sociology, and social anthropology focusing more on individual interaction and thinking within groups, rather than just large social group societal behaviour. At the micro level, social status and social role s are the most important components of social structure. Microsociology forms an important perspective in many fields of study, including modern psychosocial studies, conversational analysis and human computer interaction. Microsociology continues to have a profound influence on research in all human fields, often under other names. Competing frames of reference Some have considered that face to face interaction can be studied in at least three distinct if overlapping ways psychology intersubjectivity and microsociology. ref Smelzer, ... more details

Highly valued status symbols may change over time. For example, before the invention of the printing press , possession of a large collection of book s was considered a status symbol. After the advent of the printing press, books and literacy gradually became more common among average citizens, so the possession of books became less rarefied as a status symbol. Another common status symbol of the European medieval past was heraldry , a display of one s family name and history. In some past cultures of East Asia, pearl s and jade were major status symbols, reserved exclusively for royalty.

The generalized other is a concept introduced by George Herbert Mead into the social sciences , and used especially in the field of symbolic interactionism .

The I and the me are terms central to the social philosophy of George Herbert Mead , one of the key influences on the development of the branch of sociology called symbolic interactionism . The terms refer to the psychology of the individual, where in Mead s understanding, the me is the socialized aspect of the person, the I is the active aspect of the person. One might usefully compare Mead s I and me , respectively, with Sartre s choice and the Situation Sartre situation . But Mead himself matched up the me with Freud s censor , and the I with his Id, ego and super ego Ego ego and this is psychologically apt . ref Victorino Tejera, Semiotics from Pierce to Barthes 2001 p. 59 ref Characteristics The Me is what is learned in interaction with others and more generally with the environment other people s attitudes, once internalized in the self, constitute the Me . ref Paolo Inghilleri, From Subjective Experience to Cultural Change 1999 p. 26 ref This includes both knowledge about that environment including society , but also about who the person is their sense of self .

Orphan date February 2009 Expert subject Sociology date November 2008 In sociology , a significant symbol is a gesture usually a vocal gesture that calls out in the individual making the gesture the same i.e., functionally identical response that is called out in others to whom the gesture is directed Mind, Self and Society 47 Ritzer, 2003 57 . Significant symbols are a later by product of the meaning emergent in the act, which meaning is described, or accounted for, in terms of symbols or language The Philosophy of the Act . Origin of theory Significant symbols originated by the social behaviorist George Herbert Mead , who made a great impact in latter sociologist studies in the 20th century. Mead was interested specifically in the work of Wilhelm Wundt . It was from Wundt that Mead gained an understanding how the gesture is involved in social interaction Miller, 1973 . This sociological term significant symbols is the basis for Symbolic Interactionism , which attempts to define the self sociology self . Language Language, in Mead s view, is communication through significant symbols. Physical objects can be significant symbols, but vocal gestures, especially language, are the crucial significant symbols Ritzer, 2003 57 . Language brings out the same response in both speaker and hearer. Language is the highest form of communication, a mature development of the gesture situation therefore, the major tool of the interaction from which minds and selves emerge Mead, 1934 . Language is important because it is the means by which an individual may convey his attitudes and assume the roles of others, and thus participate in the interactionary creation of mind and self Mead, 1934 . Language also makes possible the critically important ability of people to think, to engage in mental processes. Thinking, as well as the mind, is simply defined as conversation that people have with themselves using language this activity is like having a conversation with other people Ritzer, 20 ... more details
